The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting unites family and friends around the globe in lighting candles for one hour to honor the memories of the sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and grandchildren who left too soon. As candles are lit at 7:00 p.m. local time, hundreds of thousands of persons commemorate and honor the memory of all children gone too soon.

Keep my memory with you, for memories never die;I will be there with you, when you look across the sky.

I will be there in the clouds, in the birds that fill the air;In the beauty of a fragrant rose, you will find my memory there.

You will feel me in the tenderness, of a baby's gentle touch;You will hear me if you listen, in the twilight's gentle hush.

When your hearts are heavy, and you feel that you are alone;Just reach down deep inside of you, for your heart is now my home.

I will always be with you, I will never go away;For I will live on in your hearts, forever and a day.

All Saint's Day

November 1, 2012

In Christian tradition All Saint's Day is a feast day celebrated on 1st November. All Souls' Day, 2nd November, is a time to pray for departed souls. Especially in this period, we remember our departed, visit the graves , leave flowers, light the candles and pray…For all our angels I will light a candle and say a little prayer.

You are forever in my heart handsome Chance!!

November 1, 2011

Dear Shelli,
I don't light candles very often, but I made it a point to light some tonight...as I was writing, I read your candle to Chance...and tears just started to flow, as they do so very often. This is truly the most painful Journey we will ever travel in this life, isn't it? As I look over each Memorial site..my heart just breaks, over and over, as I feel the heartache on every site...I do take great comfort, however, in knowing that the day is coming when we will be united with our boys again! How great is that going to be, right? I just wanted to let you know that I feel your pain...I thought maybe there was something terribly wrong with me, because I cry so very much...It's been a little over 5 years, and, I believe, I'm still in denial...
I have people telling me that I need to take David's site down, that I'm dwelling in darkness and I need to move on. Of course these people have never lost a child~I hope you don't mind me telling you all of this? Just know, you and your handsome Chance, are etched in my heart and mind forever~ * ~
Much Love and Big Hugs,
Cathy Giraud

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY ANGEL PATRICK

June 6, 2011

MEMORIES

Life stands still and aches with memories.

Memories that aches so deeply of a precious life cut too short.

My son Patrick who left me behind to grieve

a loss that has no words, no definition,

no explanation, no concept.

I am left only with sorrowful feelings that linger deep

within my wounded soul reminding me to hold on to those

bittersweet memories.

These memories which came from a life that I love

so dearly and treasure.

God, help me to keep those powerful memories

because today I cherish them more than my own existence,

for it is my memories of my son Patrick, who is my life and

my light until the end.

Dedicated to my son Patrick Christian Barbosa

We will always love and remember you...

March 25, 2011

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
